Cross-Study Service (RIPA) – Instructions for Haaga-Helia Students

Kuvituskuva

Lead paragraph

Cross-studies means that you can complete courses at another Finnish higher education institution, and those studies will be credited towards your degree. The RIPA cross-study service enables you to enroll in courses through Peppi and allows completed course credits to be transferred automatically to Haaga-Helia’s student records system.

Degree students and Open UAS pathway students can also enroll, through their Personal Study Plan (PSP), in cross-studies offered by partner higher education institutions. Completed credits and assessments are transferred automatically to Haaga-Helia’s study records.

Currently, the RIPA cross-study service allows enrollment in studies offered by, among others, 3AMK and CampusOnline. You can browse the available course offerings through the Edit PSP -tab.

Before enrolling, remember to have your RIPA-studies approved by your academic advisor.
